One important thing to realize or notice when it comes to Korean dramas or any other Asian drama is that a lot of them are based on manga/manhwa which are comparable to a comic. Many of my most favorite dramas are based on these manga and I find this very exciting because it is like your favorite book being published. This is also the reason that I enjoy anime as well because a lot of the times the manga turned into a drama has also been turned into a anime. manga are made in Japan and manhwas are made in Korea but a lot of Korean dramas are made from manga. Some dramas that are from manga is

Boys Over Flowers: This manga was used a lot I am pretty sure it has been turned into an anime and has been made into a Japanese and Korean drama. It did extremely well as a Korean drama.

Mary Stayed Out All Night: This is made from a manhwa and was turned into a Korean drama

Playful Kiss: this manga was turned into a Taiwanese drama, Korean Drama and a Japanese Drama.

Skip Beat: This is one of my most favorite mangas!! it has been turned into an anime and recently was turned into a Taiwanese drama but they had  Kpop Super Junior Siwon and Donghae play some of the main characters!! I have heard some rumors that there is going to be a Korean drama of Skip-beat which makes me very happy!!

Absolute Boyfriend: is a manga that has been turned into a Japanese Drama, and a Taiwanese Drama. There has been reports that there could be a Korean adaptation.

Fated to Love You: is a little different it started as a drama and then was turned into a manhua but I found it first as a manhua and then found the drama.

 

Full House: is a manhwa turned into a Korean drama.

I am sure there are a lot more manga based dramas and I know that this will continue! I think it is the best thing to read a manga and then find out there is a drama based on it!! or that soon there will be!! its as exciting as Christmas!!

    fated to love you is a drama turned manga not manga turned drama

  2. I didn’t realize this, I guess because I read the manhua first and then found the drama because of it.

    Absolute Boyfrend doesn’t have an anime yet, and that picture is from the Japanese drama, not from the taiwanese one.
